My RS2000 street regoed V8

Hi all
 
im new here and thought id introduce my self and my car. Its a 76 RS2000 with a v8 conversion that is engineered and regoed in SA. Im currently running a Cleveland V8 with a rollerrized reversed pattern 6 pinion etc C4 transmission and a 5,000 rpm stall convertor. rear axle is a shortened 9 inch with moser axles and a strange mini spool centre with 3.77 gears.
Its awesome fun to drive and shocks a few people on the street when they realize what its about.
 
Welcome to ask question and ill answer the best I can.
 
thanks for having me
 
also put this in project thread sorry, I didn't see the showroom one - mods can delete project one if you wish.thanks

Neat looking Mk2 looks a handful in the corners.

Thanks JP
 
Handful = fun
 
its actually not that bad considering. the weight split is 53 % front and 47% rear so its really a mid mount as the motor sits behind the front cross member. Not saying its perfect considering it weighs 1250kgs and has 679hp.
the Porsche in the pics would get me in the corners but id pull away easy when it straightens out

ive seen a few photos of this over the years. always wanted to see it in the flesh.
 
Awsome car mate. 600+bhp would be intense.
 
cheers

awesome. must take a gentle foot to get 600hp down without letting the smoke out of the rears. good to see the inside wheel off the deck in true esky tradition
